IRCA Quality Management Courses

About the IRCA

IRCA was formed in 1984 as part of the UK government's enterprise initiative, designed to make industry and business more competitive through the implementation of quality principles and practices. This structure included IRCA, an accreditation body (now UKAS), national standards making body (BSI Standards) and a number of commercial certification bodies. The original quality management standard used was the British standard BS 5750, which has since evolved to become ISO 9001.

IRCA has earned a reputation for integrity, contributing value and best practice. The evaluation and certification methods developed and used by IRCA have been adopted as the industry standard model used by other auditor certification bodies, which indicates that we remain the auditor certification that supplier organisations, certification bodies and auditors value most.

Over 1 million auditors have attended an IRCA certified course since 1984 and more than 120 countries are represented on the IRCA register.

Achieving IRCA approval as an organisation and then, in turn, for each of our approved courses, was not a quick, easy or cheap process for Capable People, so why did we do it? Well, we did it for you.

We understand that when you pay for training courses, you deserve to know what you’re getting and self-declarations of competence are, to say the least, sometimes unreliable. That’s why we took the step of gaining approval from the most respected and recognised accreditation body in the world – so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Successfully completing an IRCA approved course is an achievement, and we know that an IRCA approved certificate issued by Capable People, carries value. It carries value for the student, the employer, prospective employers and also oversight organisations. IRCA certificates are issued under strict conditions – we can’t issue them like confetti. That means when you successfully complete one of our courses, you know you’ve achieved something.

This IRCA approved transition course to the ISO 9001:2015 standard comprises two one-day modules. Module 1 (Annex SL) describes the common management system format that ISO 9001:2015 has adopted and is to be adopted by all ISO standards going.

It will enable you to appreciate the reasons behind this very significant structural change and its implications. The Annex SL module will also give students partial credit should they wish to complete transition courses to ISO 14001:2015 and/or ISO 45001. The second module describes the key changes to the ISO 9001 standard as a result of the change from 2008 to the 2015 standard. An IRCA approved certificate will be issued on successful completion of each module.
